GOSHEN — Township trustees recently approved a zone change to allow the develop- ment of a senior facility on state Route 28 near Deerfield Road — even though the Clermont County Planning Commission recommended denying the zone change. The Knolls of Loveland is a pro- posed retirement center on 3 acres of property on 1353 state Route 28. David Zim- merman, a 70-year-old Pleasant Plain resident, has owned the property for 15 years. He wants to build three one-story build- ings with eight individual units in each building. In order to do this the proper- ty had to be rezoned from a busi- ness district to a planned busi- ness development district. But the township’s zoning resolution doesn’t allow for a fa- cility like The Knolls of Love- land in a planned business de- velopment district. That’s why the county’s plan- ning commission recommend- ed denying the zone change, ac- cording to Adele Evans, devel- opment specialist with Cler- mont County’s department of community and economic de- velopment. The property sits close to the border of Goshen and Miami townships, Evans said. Nearby zoning in Miami Township is primarily residen- tial and in Goshen it is primarily business, she said. “We agreed that the pro- posed development would be a good transitional use between residential and business zon- ing,” Evans said. “But the proposed use doesn’t appear to be in the (township’s) permitted uses (for a planned business devel- opment district). So that is why the planning commission rec- ommended denial — there was no housing uses permitted.” After multiple meetings with the Goshen Township Zoning Commission where Zimmer- man voiced his frustration with the zoning process and consid- ered taking his business elsewhere, officials approved the zone change and the case went to the trustees. Trustee Claire Corcoran said officials do not have to comply with county recommendations and trustees unanimously ap- proved the zone change, accord- ing to meeting minutes.

This tough winter hasn’t de-layed Batavia’s Main Street re-vitalization, but the heavyspring rains highlighted a ma-jor issue with part of the pro-ject.

“The planters are not work-ing right,” Village Administra-tor Dennis Nichols told councilat the April 7 meeting.

“Wehave 53 total and at leastseven have failed. We believethe soil composition in ours isflawed. Several are simply re-taining water and some are notdraining at all.”

Each planter is a drainagebasin with street trees and oth-er plants set in the sidewalks

along Main Street. Nichols saidthey excavated one of the plant-er boxes and found the soil wasdry with a clay layer under-neath, which “seals it just like apond.”

If the soil was incorrectlymixed, Nichols said he’s wor-ried some of the drainage ba-sins working well have toomuch sand and the plants won’tbe able to grow.

Councilwoman ElizabethMason asked if they’re going totake soil samples of each plant-er, and Nichols said they’ll takea representative sample of all53 in the project.

“This is our highest concernrightnow,andIdon’texpect it tocost the village,” he said.

Nichols added residents and

businessownerswill start toseemore visible changes in earlyMay.

The $5.1 million project, ex-pected to be complete in June,includes major makeover forMain Street, from Fifth Streetto the bridge, and revampingparts of Fourth and Secondstreets.

MILFORD — Environ-mental Protection Agen-cy investigators will re-turn to the city this sum-mer in hopes of unravel-ing a 30-year-oldmystery:

Where are pollutantscontaminating an aquiferin Milford coming fromand who is responsible?

The contaminatedaquifer supplies the city’sfour drinking water wellsnext to the Little MiamiRiver.

Representatives of thefederal and state EPAsand of the city emphasizethat Milford has installedequipment thatmakes thewater safe for use.

Ohio EPA agents firstdetected industrial sol-vents in a groundwaterplume beneath a businessand residential area nearthe intersection of BakerDrive and Lila Avenue in1986.

But the U.S. EPA,called in by the Ohio EPA,continues to study thesource or sources of theperchloroethylene, tri-chloroethane and othercontaminants producedwhen those solvents arebroken down by the envi-ronment – all of which areoften referred to as vola-tile organic compounds(VOCs) - in the aquifer.

“To date, the highestconcentrations in theaquifer have been found(in the500blockof)BakerDrive, which was a dry-cleaning facility duringthe 1950s,” said DinaPierce,mediacoordinatorfor the Ohio EPA in Co-lumbus.

“For (the 6,000-plus)Milford water customers,the Milford water depart-ment uses an air stripperto remove the VOCs from

the water until they arebelow allowable safedrinking-water contami-nation levels.

“After treatment, con-taminants have been re-moved below the maxi-mum allowable contami-nant levels and the wateris safe to drink,” Pierce

said.Milford City Manager

Jeff Wright said, “TheEPAplanningandcleanupprocess is very long-termand extensive.

“The EPA has had testwells installed at that vi-cinity for many years sothat they can monitor thegroundwater conditionand the contaminant.

“They are still investi-gating and in fact plan onperforming additionalgroundwater testing thissummer, and then willpropose cleanup optionsand then pick a cleanupplan and have the cleanupwork performed,” Wrightsaid.

Milford’s contaminat-ed aquifer was put on theU.S. EPA’s “National Pri-orities List” in 2011, mak-ing it the federal agency’sresponsibility to investi-gate it and pay to clean itup if no responsible par-ties can be found.

The process includespublicmeetingsand inter-views with people livingand businesses operatingin the area.

Who contaminated Milford aquifer in 1986?By Jeanne [email protected]

If Milford and the state andfederal EnvironmentalProtection Agencies say thecity's water is safe, itprobably is, says EricaFischer, office manager ofMilford Village VeterinaryClinic.JEANNE HOUCK/THE

MIAMI TWP. — Town-ship trustees are expect-ed to signa two-year leaseforwarehouse space nearstate Route 131. The planis to convert the buildinginto a temporary fire sta-

tion — afew hun-dred feetaway frompropertytrusteesbought lastyear tobuild a newfire sta-tion.

The lease will cost tax-payers about $1,500 amonth, said Miami Town-ship Administrator LarryFronk.

The temporary stationcould be operational assoon as August, said FireChief Steve Kelly.

“It’snota lesserstationin any way. It’s an oppor-tunity to establish a pres-ence that we don’t cur-rently have,” Kelly said.

The Miami TownshipFireDepartment current-ly has three stations: 6492Branch Hill Guinea Pike,1154 U.S. 50 and 5888McPicken Drive.

Trustees last yearbought 1.12 acres of landonSugarCampRoadnearstate Route 131 with$275,000 of taxpayers’money.

Kelly expects the newstation to handle about 25to 27 percent of the de-partment’s overall runs.

The station alsowill al-

leviate the strain on thetownship’s McPickenDrive station, whichtakes themost calls of the

three sta-tions, Kellysaid.

Resi-dents fromthe town-ship’sWhite GateFarm sub-divisionpreviously

complained about slowresponse times. WhiteGate Farm is located offDry Run Road, about halfa mile from state Route131.

“I know there is seg-ment of the communitythat has experiencedsome longercall times forservice. So I’m excited toget out there and estab-lish a presence,” Kellysaid.

Fronk said the leasecould be extended aftertwo years, but that is theminimum amount of timeit would take to designand build a new station.

Costs for renovatingthe interior of the build-ing will be paid for by theoriginal property owner,Kelly said.

Kelly plans to staffthree people in the ap-proximately 1,800-square-foot station, alongwith one fire engine andone ambulance.

Temporary fire station proposed on S.R. 131By Keith [email protected]

Before a new fire station is built on Sugar Camp Road near state Route 131 in Miami Township, township trustees areexpected to approve a two-year lease for one section of this warehouse. The plan is to convert it into a temporarystation. Three employees would staff the station, and they would have access to one engine and one ambulance.KEITHBIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

MILFORD—Starting in thecel-lar leaves plenty of room for up-ward mobility.

Milford High School seniorAndrew Minton knows all aboutit.

“We had a net in the base-ment,” he said. “My dad teed meup down there and let me swing.He threw grounders to me downthere. From about the age of 4,that’s what we’d do.”

The indoor work from tod-dlerdomforward translatedwellto the outdoor diamond.Minton -who plays shortstop for the 7-4Eagles - will play college base-ball for Tiffin University nextschool year. He plans to studysports management with an eyeto becoming a trainer or a scout.

“I’m glad to be signed,” hesaid. “It’s a stress-free senioryear. Having that out of the wayjust letsme concentrate on play-ing ball.”

Milford head coach Tom Kil-gore said Minton has been play-ing well the first half of the sea-son.

“He’s a fourth-year varsityplayer; we brought him up hisfreshmanyear to solidify our de-fense,” Kilgore said. “In his sen-ior year, he’s that much better.

“He’s our lead-off hitter, buthe’s also leading the team inRBIs.Not only does he set the ta-ble for us as a lead-off guy, healso drives in the most runs.That’s a tribute not only to hisproductivity, but also to the factwe’ve gotten some good produc-tivity from the bottom third ofour lineup. Andrew takes advan-tage of that.”

“He’sgot anoutstandingworkethic. He’s not only preparedhimself for this level, but he’sbeen working hard the last cou-ple of years to get ready for thenext level.”

Probablynot surprisinggivenhis family history.

Cousin Wes Minton was Mil-ford’s shortstop for the four sea-sons immediately prior to An-drew’s arrival. Wes now plays atTennessee Wesleyan after twoyears at Parkland JuniorCollegein Illinois. Kilgore also has his

MIDSEASON REPORTMilford went into Easter on a

three-game win streak after a4-0 win over Hillsboro April 19.“I’d be content with where

we are if we could have gottena split with Kings,” said Eagleshead coach Ton Kilgore. “Wehad two one-run games withthem; we could have one both,especially the second game inextra innings.“That’s our goal in our league,

to get three sweeps and threesplits. That puts you at 9-3 in theleague, which should be prettygood. With only a 12-game(league) schedule, getting sweptkind of puts you behind theeight ball a little bit.Kings, however, lost a pair to

Anderson April 18, leaving theRedskins atop the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference at 5-0 withKings at 4-2. Milford was 2-2 inleague play so far, havingearned one of its sweeps with apair of victories over Turpin.“We’ll play a part in some-

thing, whether we win it orwe’re the spoilers for somebodyelse,” Kilgore said. “We still playWalnut Hills (scheduled April 21and 23), Anderson (scheduledApril 25 and 28), Glen Este(scheduled May 5 and 7) andLoveland (Scheduled April 30and May 2).“Everybody’s number-one or

number-two pitcher can beatanybody else’s number one ortwo. So that leads to some greatcompetition down the stretch.”

OWENSVILLE — Doomdoesn’t have to be a badthing.

In fact, Clermont North-eastern junior catcher Alli-son Gilkerson cut her com-petitive teeth with the Cin-cinnati Doom softball club,starting with the U10 teamand eventually reaching theWorld Series in Texas as aU16 player.

CNE reached twostraight regional finalslargely on the strength ofEmily Anderson’s pitchingand thehigh-level playof sixother seniors. Anderson isoff wearing another blue-and-gold Rockets uniformfor theUniversity of Toledo,but Gilkerson remains be-hind the dish.

“It definitely helps hav-ing her back there,” saidRockets head coach BillGoldfuss. “We lean on her alot.Not only is sheourcatch-er, but she’sourbigbat in thethird hole. We’ll go as far asshe can take us.”

With only one senior onthe roster - Abbi Pritchard -Gilkersonassumeda leader-ship role.

“I feel like I’m moreaware of what’s going on onthe field,” she said. “I feellike I have to let the fresh-men knowwhat to expect orwhere tobe. I feel like I haveto take the lead. It’s a hugerole, but somebody has to do

it. I love it. I’m in everypitch, every play.

“I feel like sometimespeople get aggravated whenI tell them something, butit’s just for the team. I feellike we have potential. Wecouldwinthe leagueforsureand then in the tournament,who knows.”

Goldfuss likes the atti-tude.

“If you’ve got a veterancatcher, that’s huge,” hesaid. “She sees the wholefieldandknowswhat’sgoingon all around her. (Gilker-son) is more of a leader byexample than getting up inpeople’s faces. We’re work-ing on that, her being moreof a vocal leader.

“Two years with Emilyand just putting the glove uphasmade thisyeara little bitof an adjustment. She has tothink more back there andshe has to be more activethan she ever has with a ballgoing high or low. If youdon’t have that person who’sgoing right to the glove ev-ery time, it’s a lotmoreworkfor the catcher.

“I think we’re comingalong. Once we get our de-fense set and the pitching isa littlemoreconsistent,we’llbe in good shape. We’ll be alot better by the end of theseason than where we start-ed.”

Sister Ashley playedsoccer for the Rocketsand is now pursuing a lawdegreeatWilliamandMa-ry in Virginia. BrotherAlex played baseball andnow studies at Ohio Uni-

versity, which is whereAshley got her under-graduate degree.

“I can seemyself goingthere,” Allison said. “It’sbecomekindof a traditionand it’s a beautiful cam-pus. I’m not sure if I wantto play softball, though.It’s a lot ofworkand Imayjust have to concentrateon school.”

Gilkerson professed alove of animals and is con-sidering a career as a vet-erinarian.

For now she’s happy asa self-described softballgeek.

“It’s definitely fair tocall me that,” Gilkersonsaid. “It’s pretty muchwhat I do all the time out-side of school. I go to thebattingcages. Ihit into thenet in the back yard. Iwork on my throws downto secondbase. I justwantto keep getting better andhelping the team.”

“I justwant to have funwith the game,” Andrewsaid. “EverydaywhenI’min bed or doing my home-work or anything, I al-ways have baseball onmy

mind. I’m thinking of situ-ations and what I shoulddo. Then if it happens, I’mprepared. Ipractice it, soIhave it my muscle memo-ry and I can just react nat-urally.”

Minton had one memo-rable setback in the gameand wears the scar toprove it.

On a trip to Cooper-stown for a U10 tourna-ment with the Ohio Force,he walked out of a battingcage and into another

player swinging. Twodays after having hisbraces removed, the batknocked out several teethand pushed some othersthrough his lower lip.

Minton had his jawwired shut for a fewweeks and had to wear aface mask on his battinghelmet, but said it’s allpart of baseball.

“I was just mad Imissed a game,” he said.“I love to play.”

Literally, it is a field; allgrass.

The Monarchs playvintage baseball sansgloves. They compete un-der1865gameruleswear-ing uniforms of the day.For time perspective,President Abraham Lin-coln was shot at Ford’sTheater April 14, 1865.

“We do two seven-in-ning games,” teamspokesman Joel Knuevensaid. “If it’s too hot, weplay one nine-inninggame.”

The idea originatedwhen Knueven, his broth-ers and father attendedformer Reds shortstopBarry Larkin’s induction

into the Baseball Hall ofFame in Cooperstown,N.Y., in 2012.

A recent game fea-tured their “downtown”neighbors, the Losanti-villeBlackStockings,whoplay their games near theEden Park reservoir.

Therulesaremuchdif-ferent than modern-daybaseball. The fly rule dic-tates that a batter is onlyout if the ball is caught onthe fly. A foul ball can becaught “on the bound”(bounce) to record an out.Prior to1865, aball caughton the bounce was an out.

There are no strikes orballs, but swinging andmissing three times equa-

tes an out. A softer ver-sion of today’s ball is usedand pitches are deliveredunderhand.Thegameballis a little bigger than aregulation baseball andsmaller than a softball.

The Monarchs use pe-riod accurate bats madeby thePhoenixBatCo. outof Columbus. The thick-ness is designed to resem-ble bats of the 1865 timeperiod. Bats are not cutoff and are as long as thelathe was. A player in theday could cut his own batto desired dimensions tochange balance.

Nine men in the samepositions as today play.Thus far, spectatorshaven’t adopted 1860s at-tire, but there’s talk thatsomemayas part of a dra-matic presentation. Cur-rent fans are given a bro-chure detailing the histo-ry of the era and begin-nings of the team.

The green patch be-hind the village buildingand near the MoscowFirst Stop Marathon hasbeen dubbed “ProspectField.”

“The original name ofMoscow before it was set-tled was Prospect,” Knue-ven said. “The originalfield were fruit groves astherewas a brandy distill-ery in town.”

The Moscow nine arethe first vintage team inClermont County, accord-ing to the founder.

Should curiosity strikealong with an availablepicnic basket andblanket,fans are encouraged to at-tend the Monarchs’ nextcontest May 4 againstBelle River out of RisingSun, Ind.

MOSCOW — The villageof Moscow in ClermontCounty is oftenassociatedwith the nearby ZimmerPower Plant or theMarch2012 tornado that ravagedmore than 80 percent ofthe area.

Two years after thenatural disaster, sup-porters would like to pre-sent a new image of theplace just off Ohio 52 as itruns parallel with theOhio River. The officialwebsite reads, “The Vil-lage of Moscow, Ohio...apeaceful spot on the riv-er.”

With a 2010 Censuspopulation of 185, that’susually the case. Urbansprawl has never reachedthe village that celebratesits bicentennial in twoyears. However, baseballhas.

As the old MoscowHigh School has beenclosed for years, the clos-est baseball anyonemightfind would be up what lo-cals call “NannygoatHill”toward Felicity-Franklin.TheCardinals just startedtheir program back a fewyears ago.

Or, onecouldheadwesttoward the city and up an-other steep hill to catch aNew Richmond game onan artificial turf infield.

Now, just behind theold school building that isnow the community cen-ter at 30 Wells St., theMoscow Monarchs havetaken the field.

The2015USRowingClubNationalChampionshipswill be July 15-19, 2015, on Harsha Lake in East ForkState Park.

The racewill be hosted byClermontCrew, in part-nership with USRowing. The Club Nationals has be-comeoneof the largest summer regattas nationwide,featuring five full days of racing andmore than1,500crews fromyouth, collegiate, and adult teamsnation-wide.

The venue is no stranger to major national cham-pionship regattas; Harsha Lake was the home of theUS Rowing Youth National Championships from1995-2010, hosted the National Collegiate RowingChampionships from 1983-1996, and was for manyyears the home of the Midwest Scholastic RowingChampionships. Harsha Lake is owned by the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers and leased to the Ohio De-partment of Natural Resources, which operates EastFork State Park.

Beyondhosting collegiate dual racing already thisspring, the venue will host UC’s Cincinnati Regatta,the Cincinnati High School Invitational, and theMid-west Junior Rowing Championships. The course willalso host theHead of theHiddenDragonhead race inthe fall.

David Uible, county commissioner, said winningthe race was a strong team effort; “The competitionaround the country for these major events is fierce.Clermont County has two important advantages:first, we have a world-class venue that includesOlympicstartingblocks; second,wehavean involvedlocal community that is really proud to get behindthis effort.”

Mark Calitri, president of the Clermont CountyConvention&VisitorsBureau, said, “We compete ev-ery day to make Clermont County a preferred sport-ing destination by maximizing the county’s recre-ational assets.Ourbid teamworkedhard toattract anevent thatwill give thecountya significant economicboost.”

Commissioner Uible added, “Events like thisbringmoney and jobs; the economic impact of this 5-day eventwill approach $2million.A rowing event ofthis scope creates a strong economic ripple effectthrough our entire community. As event participantsexplore Clermont County, beneficiaries include ho-tels, restaurants, retail locations, and many otherbusinesses that cater to these visitors.”

About 1,800 athletes will participate.

A publication of

Common sense would in-dicate that a school districtstaffed by hundreds of highlypaid masters degree-levelteachers and administratorswould be able to design andimplement a curriculum forstudent success without rely-ing on top-down edicts fromWashington, D.C., special in-terests.

Apparently not so in Milfordwhere it is embraced.

“Common Core (CC),” thecopyrighted, privately ownededucational standards, wereadopted sight unseen by 46states in order either to re-ceive federal “Race to the Top”(RttT) funds or to be able towaive RttT requirements.Written and promoted throughfunds provided by the Bill andMelinda Gates Foundation, the

Thomas B.Fordham In-stitute andothers, CC’sstated purposeis to assurestudent collegeand careerreadiness.

Because CChas been de-scribed as“education

without representation” (theadoption process by-passedstate legislatures), currentlyover 100 bills are before statelegislatures attempting to slow,stop, or reverse CC’s finaladoption.

The Ohio effort is being ledby local mothers Heidi Huberand Thea Shoemake, foundersof Ohioans Against Common

Core, who are criss-crossingOhio to present the dangers toour children by a centralized,national curriculum overwhich parents and local schoolboards will have little influ-ence.

CC permits little deviationfrom its curriculum (only up to15 percent) by local schoolofficials.

Federal involvement in CC(and in all education) is uncon-stitutional, violating the feder-alism concept commanded bythe Ninth and 10th Amend-ments in the Bill of Rights.Furthermore, the federal stat-ute known as General Educa-tional Provisions Act (20 U.S.Code Section 1232a--prohibi-tion against federal control ofeducation) makes federal in-volvement illegal.

Parents oppose the exhaus-tive data-mining, records-keeping, testing and assess-ments being imposed by CC onchildren, especially since itemploys methods seen as de-velopmentally inappropriate orinsensitive.

Such data, coveted by gov-ernment, business, and indus-try, may haunt a child throughlife. CC-authorized textbooksmay also be captured by politi-cally correct points of view.

Classical educators holdthat man is essentially a spiri-tual being subject to physicalneeds and wants, and that edu-cation matures a student’sability to think and reason tomeet those needs while con-trolling his appetites. Personaldevelopment and knowledge isits own reward, leading to a

fully-civilized, unique humanbeing.

Schemes like CC see manonly as a material being withno real will of his own. Thestudent must be molded andshaped, not primarily for hisown good, but for a utopian“good of society” imposed byelites who “know better.”

Common Core is Marxist tothe core, a “school-to-work”scheme akin to Stalin’s “FiveYear Plans” andMao’s “GreatLeap Forward,” seeking toproduce worker bees, consum-ers, taxpayers, and soldiers fora collectivized global economy.

I ask the Milford schoolsand the state of Ohio to rejectit.

Last week’s questionEarth Day is April 22. What, if

anything, do you do to observeEarth Day? Do you believe theday is more or less importantthan it was when it began in1970?Why or why not?

“I will do absolutely nothingto observe earth day. I preferto worship the Creator, ratherthan created things.”

R.W.J.

“Technically, the Earth Dayis probably more than what itwas back then when it started,especially with all the cleanupsand tree giveaways these days.

“My son and I are planningon cleaning up the trash in thewoods behind out house. It getswashed down the hill, throughthe storm drain from ourstreet, right down into CloughCreek which flows right intothe Little Miami.”

TRog

“I don’t do anything special,as I celebrate it every day byrecycling, using cloth bags atstores, etc. I honor the environ-ment every day, not just oneday per year.”

C.H.

“Earth day? Probablyshould plant a tree. I love treesand we lost a couple last yearso it is time. As far as the im-portance and significanceplaced on Earth Day, I believeit has lessened over the years,which is a shame.

“In spite of all of the argu-ments batted back and forthconcerning global climate

change, one would hope thatwe would pay much more at-tention to our planet and whatwe are doing to it. Earth day isat least one day where weought to stop and say: ‘oops.’”

M. J. F.

“Why do we celebrate EarthDay on April 22? Why do wecelebrate Christmas on the25th. And why do we celebrateEaster on that special Sunday.

“Being a senior citizen Icelebrate Earth Day every dayas I gaze out the window in themorning and as long as I seethe green side of the grass andnot the brown side I feel fine,lucky, and blessed.”

D.J.

“To answer your weeklyquestion ... nothing. Earth Dayis simply a left-wing effort toindoctrinate the school chil-dren. It's roots are in pagan-ism.

“There is nothing wrongwith being concerned aboutthe environment, it's just thatthe movement goes to the ex-treme. The environmentalmovement is out of control.

The EPA is a good example.The federal government usesit for its own benefit.”

C.C.

“We try, in our household, toobserve Earth Day every day,and not just once a year.

“It pains us to see howmanypeople still don't carry re-useable grocery bags and stillbuy 24 packs of bottled waterthat usually comes frommuni-cipal sources.

“People must not realizethat plastic is partially madefrom oil and most of thoseplastic bottles (that never de-compose) are hardly ever re-cycled.

“A water filter and reusablewater bottle would save thetypical family hundreds ofdollars per year, and would bebetter than what is bottled.

“At one time protecting theearth and her resources usedto be an important subjecttaught often in our schools, butnot anymore. What a shame,not to instill the love of natureand its gentle care in our chil-dren.

“With all of the environ-mental damage being done toour earth in the name ofgreedy energy producers ev-ery person should be conscien-tious in reducing and combin-ing errands, in turning offappliances and lights not beingused, and recycling as much aspossible.

“The earth that we are leav-ing for our children, grand-children and their childrenlooks pretty bleak. We could alldo more, and should, every

day.”J.B.

“I'll volunteer at a booth forCitizens Climate Lobby at the

Sawyer Point celebration. We'lleducate people on the bestways to reduce Global Warm-ing.”

Heroin, a pain killer, kills!Responding to April 9 heroin arti-

cle.In ’95-’96 I was fighting in Ohio for

excruciating pain sufferers: spinal in-juries, cancer, etc., gettingproperpainmanagement.

Doing such advocacy revealed thepower of Ohio’s medical and pharma-ceutical political machine. Physicians,then, lacked backbone for fighting fortheir patients.

By God’s enablement, that pain bill–which hadbeen stuck “in committee”25 years – finally came to a vote! In1996 it became law - after the Medical& RX Boards got two words altered,and the clause which mandated M.D.shave four hours pain managementtraining deleted.

Lucrative pain clinics proliferated.

Those with good insurance were ableto get appropriate pain medications.

In 2012, I observed changes whichindicated that killing of our citizenryhad begun, and is now escalating.

“Vested interests,” currently usingOhio’s ’96 euthanasia law, strength-ened by present federal law, which“OKs”physicians to terminate individ-uals, are reducing the elderly, dis-abled, injured and indigent population.

When persons with legitimate painand health issues can no longer findknowledgeableM.D.swith thecourageto “buck the system” dangerous streetmarkets flourish.

In “the streets” one never knowswhat one gets! Heroin, a pain killer,kills!

MIAMITWP.—Mayhem is ev-erywhere.

That’s the slogan for thepopular Allstate Insurancecommercials featuring abrash, destructive characterknown as Mayhem.

Now, there’s an other May-hem sweeping the nation.

“Fashion by Mayhem” is ablog started by Miami Town-ship resident Angie Keiser. Itfeatures Keiser’s four-year-old daughter, Sydney, playingdress up.

The twist is Sydney playsdress up with outfits the twomake together out of paper,tape and not much else.

Mayhem is a nicknameKeiser gave her daughter be-cause, as Sydney says, “I’mnotquiet and I never sit still.”

When running low on inspi-ration for dresses, which theymake virtually every day, theduo turned to Hollywood’s redcarpet for ideas. Sydneypicked a few dresses she likedand they made them.

Katy Perry. Taylor Swift.Jennifer Lawrence.

“It’s just for fun,” Sydneysaid.

Regardless, she outdidthem all. For thousands of dol-lars less.

Keiser, who runs a photog-raphy studiowithherhusband,Keith, in Milford, took photosof Sydney in the stylish dress-es and posted them on her blogand Instagram account.

Then the national media gotinterested.

“Mayhem. It’s not just anickname for ourkid anymore.It very accurately describes

the past five days of our lives,”Keiser wrote on her blogMarch 2.

After an interview with afriend in New York City wassyndicated by The HuffingtonPost everyone wanted a pieceof the two.

“Wewereveryaggressivelypursued to do TV,”Keiser said.

Another brief phone inter-view turned into pictures thatwere shared on the “TodayShow.” Keiser said she didn’tknow the pictures would beused on television.

They were.Since then Keiser received

more than 700 emails withmedia requests from all overthe world. Everything fromGlobo TV in Brazil to newspa-per publications in Germany,France and more.

“You don’t know who’s realand who’s not,” Keiser said.

“It’s the weirdest thing toget messages about Singaporetelevision.”

The photography businessestablished by her husband,Keith, was flooded with phonecalls and Keiser’s cell phonenumber was leaked.

That’s when she contactedtheMiamiTownshipPoliceDe-partment and got an attorneyinvolved to help deal with thedifferent offers coming in —from licensing deals to bookoffers.

“You start realizing youchild’s photo is all over theworld. It’s a little scary,” Keis-er said.

Keiser had 1,011 Instagramfollowers a few weeks ago.That number jumped to319,000 after the “TodayShow”segment.

Keiser gained about 1,000followers during a recent 45minute interview and a weeklater reached more than334,000 followers.

Asked what makes peoplegravitate to the story, her hus-band shrugged.

“I wish I knew,” Keith said.Whenpressed, he said itwas

the relationship betweenmother and daughter so manycould relate to.

For Angie, making paperdresses was never about fash-ion—or getting famous. It wasabout spending quality timewith her daughter.

“People have told me thatthe world is looking for goodnews stories,” Keiser said.

“They found it.”

Harsha Lake at East ForkState Park in Clermont Countyhas landed the 2015 USRowingClub National Championships,one of the largest summer re-gattas in the country.

USRowing, the nonprofitgoverning body for the sport ofrowing in the U.S., announcedMonday that the event will beheld July 15-19, 2015. About

1,800 athletes are expected toparticipate.

Capturing the event couldstart a revival for Harsha Lakeas a rowing venue. The lakehosted theUSRowingYouthNa-tional Championships from1995 to 2010, and the NationalCollegiate Rowing Champion-ships from1983 to1996,USRow-ing said.

“It is great to have HarshaLake back on the nationalscene,” said A.J. Dominique,

USRowing’s events manager.“Therearenotmanyseven-lanerace courses in the country.”

As the lake’s rowing facili-ties declined in recent years,several premier events wentelsewhere. So county officials,elected leaders and the Cler-mont County Convention andVisitors Bureau have recentlysought funding for upgrades.

The county is still awaitingword from the state on a $3mil-lion capital funding request for

improvements to Harsha Lake.The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers owns most of East ForkState Park and leases it to theOhioDepartmentofNaturalRe-sources.

“The public has already paidfor the facility to be createdover the last 30 years. We havethe ability tomake it somethinggreat at quite a reasonable out-lay,” said Paul Schmid, headcoach for Clermont Crew,which will co-host the champi-

onships at East Fork in partner-ship with USRowing.

Capturing the 2015 eventwillbe a boon to local hotels, whichshould see an influx of severalthousand visitors in addition tothe crews. Clermont CountyCommissionerDavidUible saidthe economic impact could ap-proach $2 million.

This year’s USRowing ClubNational Championshipswill beheld July 16-20 at Melton HillLake in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

APRIL 23, 2014 • CJN-MMA • B3LIFE

I was outworking in myherb garden

yesterday whenit dawned on mehow much I ap-preciate thehealing qualitiesof common culi-nary herbs that Igrow and whichI use whenteaching classes.In fact, I can’tthink of one culi-nary herb that doesn’tdo a body good.

When you know howhealthy an herb is foryou, you’ll tend to useit more and appreciateits qualities.

Right now our gar-den stores have anabundance of herbswith good prices, so Ihope this column en-courages you to grow,and use more herbs.And get the kids in-volved, too. You will beamazed at how adven-turous they becomewith eating when theygrow their own herbs.

» Dill: Usedthroughout the ages asa remedy for babies’colic, it’s a calmingherb for digestion, andhelps promote sleep,due to its calcium con-tent. Dill seed oil isantibacterial, andchewing a few seedsafter a meal helps di-gestion and freshensbreath.

» Fennel: A cousin todill, fennel has a mildlicorice flavor. It helpsfreshen breath, aidsdigestion, balancesappetite and relievesgas. The bonus is theswallowtail butterflyloves fennel so if yousee a tiger-stripedgreen and black cater-

pillar on fennel, let italone and you’ll be

rewarded with abeautiful pollina-tor to your gar-den.

» Chamomile:Remember whenPeter Rabbit’smom gave himchamomile teaafter he hoppedhome fromMr.McGregor’s gar-den? Chamomile

makes an apple-scent-ed tea that helps calmthe nerves and soothesdigestion.

» Peppermint: Wheneach of us nine kidsleft home, we wereallowed sprigs ofMom’s heirloom pep-permint. An invasiveperennial herb, grow itin a container if youdon’t have room for it.Awesome for colds andcoughs with its highvitamin C content, andalso for muscle achesand tension headaches.Plus it’s a great diges-tive herb, as well.

» Thyme: Like anherbal medicine chest.Thyme’s volatile oil,thymol, has both anti-septic and antibacteri-al qualities. Thymeand sage tea relievessore throats. The bestculinary thymes arethe bushy/moundingones, like French andEnglish. French, to mypalate, has a sweeter,less peppery flavor,than English.

» Rosemary: Thispiney tasting herb haslots of antioxidantsand may help preventsome cancers. It isgood for the memory,too.

» Basil: Potassiumand iron, along with

aromatherapy qualities,makes this herb so good.With its clove/licoricelike flavor, sweet greenbasil is the most com-mon basil.

THANKS TO THERESA

HERRON

Howdy Folks;As Iwrite this the snow

is 1 inch on our truck; justyesterday it was in the60s,WOW,what a change,but folks say if you live inthis area, the weather canchange quickly.

We hope you had a hap-pyEaster, sorrywe forgotto wish you happy Easterlast week.

I wrote about myhometown, there weresomebusinesses Imissed.One of them is the BenFranklin Store, the samefamily has been there 70years.Nowtherehasbeenthree generations there,but if you need anythingin the fabric, crafts,candy, framing,andmore,anything else the storehas it.

Now I will tell youabout our cat, 'Chester.'Hegothis fussball caughtin theVelcro inabeltRuthAnn uses. He tried forover a half hour to get itloose. He had it on thecouch and would fall off,with the belt, then hewouldrunandjumponthefuss ball. That didn't workeither.

Then he would try topull the ball off. He wasgetting frustrated, thenhe grabbed the belt andran,dragging it to thebed-room. Ruth Ann went andtook the fussball off theVelcro. Chester was bythat timetiredsohe laidatRuthAnn's feet and took anap.

Now this is not the endof Chester's activities.The othermorning at 6:30he was getting hungry.Nowhehas dry food in hisbowl, but that is not thecanned food. He startedtrying towakemebypaw-ing me on the shoulder,that did wake me, but Iacted like I was stillasleep.

Aftera fewpawsonmyshoulder he bit me verylightly on the arm. Hejumped down on the bedwatching to see if that gotmyattention.Well, it did. Iraised up and he took offfor the kitchen then RuthAnn went out and gavehim some canned food.

During the good warmweather, Ruth Ann leavesthe kitchen door open andthe screen door shut. Thishas Chester's attention.He will sit and look outand see a squirrel; he getsexcited. When one of usare outside he is unhappyand keeps runningaround, then when thatone comes in, he is veryhappy. What a blessing heis.

I forgot to write aboutthe U.S. Grant CareerCenterdinner,will beheldon April 26 starting at 5P.M. The price for the din-ner is $5. The school doesthis to thank the commu-nity for their support.

The greenhouse will

also beopen at thistime. If youhave neverbeen thereyou aremissingone of thebest din-ners ofyour life.The stu-

dents do the cooking withthe help of Ray and Gary.These fellers are good.

Last Saturday the Ow-ensville Historical Soci-ety held a meeting andplanned the year’s activ-ities and getting ready forthe fair, and ready to openthe log cabin for the sum-mer.There is alwaysplen-ty ofwork to get ready fortheyear,with themuseumand log cabin, we hopeplenty of folks will turnout to help.

The Old Bethel M.E.Church here at East Forkhad a wedding last Satur-day for a granddaughterof Carl and Juanita Ely;there was a large crowd.The bride and groomwere very beautiful.These young folks willhave memories of hergrandpa to last a lifetime.This always pleases RuthAnn and me.

There are some specialevents coming up, one isC.A.S.A. which is a pro-gram to benefit ClermontKids from the JuvenileCourt. This is held at theReceptions ConferenceCenter at Eastgate, onApril 25th from 6 p.m. un-til 10:30 P.M. For informa-tion you may call 732-7169.

The next one is GrantsFarm and Greenhouses’Open House, at theirBucktown location, thestate. Route 131 location,and at theMilfordGardenCenter. They offer 20 per-cent off on all purchasesthe weekend of April 26and 27. Ruth Ann and Iwill be there on the 27.

The next one is GrassyRun Rendezvous, at theWilliamsburgPark, on the25th is for school kids,then it isopentothepublicon the 26th and 27th. TheGrange will not be therethis year. The Williams-burg Eastern Star will bedoing the food booth.

The Boars Head BaitShop held a Crappie Tour-nament last Sunday andthe fishing is getting bet-ter. The winner had about6 lbs. ofcrappie; onefellerhad a crappie 17 incheslong.

Stat your week by go-ing to the House of wor-ship of your choice andpraise theGoodLord.GodBless All. More Later.
